Rode bike through sewage water and vicious dogs chasing us

So transfers were pretty good! Nice to see all the missionaries there and see everybody moving around!
We are back to BIKES as the car is needed for the Elders in Tembisaas.

Got my new companion, Elder Stevenson!


Elder Stevenson is great! He's such an awesome guy!! We are already really good friends! He's really easy to get along with and he's such a fun guy! We get along well and it's really easy to work with him!

He likes to work hard and do good! Which is awesome. So things are going really well! I'm super happy to have him and i'm really enjoying my mission

Biking isn't so bad actually! I'm not as bad as I thought I would be and it's actually going okay! It's tiring at times and my legs ache at the end of the day, but we are powering through, and thankfully at the end of the day, the Kempton Park Elders come and pick us up at night so we don't have to bike home!

One of the funny things that we saw when coming back from transfers was a church steeple that had been converted into a telephone mast! It was so cool! Didn't get a picture :/

Things are going well! The work is going okay!
We had to walk for two days because the bikes weren't here, and then mine got a flat at the start of one of the days so we just walked! It was a long way!

Also about biking! This one time we were just biking along a road and all of a sudden these 2 vicious dog just start sprinting towards our bikes! Teeth ready to EAT us!
We screamed like little girls and biked as hard as we could, it was honestly like something out of a movie! It was so funny!

One of the other things was on Sunday night we were biking hard to get to the chapel to get picked up by the other guys (the dinner appointment ran over and they'd been waiting for an hour)
So we are bombing it over to the chapel, going super fast and all of a sudden we start going through some sewege water from a burst pipe! We get splattered with poo water because we can't slow down in time!!
Then on Saturday it was raining too, and we covered our shirts in water from the rain!

I have to change shirts every day now because of all the sweat and dirt from riding!

We had Sibusiso come to church! Sibusiso is a great guy who we tracted into! And it is a miracle in his life that we came because he really needs the gospel to help him and support him! We had an amazing lesson with him and are really getting through to him! Which is amazing to see

We've been working with this less active for a while trying to get her to church. And we'd normally just go to her house and chill with her family, talk and laugh and stuff, gain a good relationship.
But finally last night I got a bit firm with her and gave it to her straight. I have a good relationship so it's okay, but it's time to be a bit more straight forward!

That's been our biggest problem to the work this week
People believe the Book of Mormon is true, but they don't see why they can't keep going to their own church! Which is a problem! So we are going to work on that!

That's about it for this week
I think this transfer is going to be awesome!

Love you Lots

Jack :)
